Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"In three
short stories with a distinct Murakami
vibe, hapless investigator Bobby
Potemkine threads his way
through his city's meteor-shredded
ruins to find out which of several
women named Lili has really invented
fire, what to do about an
angry noodle named Auguste Diodon,
and how to rescue the many baby
pelicans that litter the roads. Every
page introduces another
curiosity in Draeger's cabinet of
wonders." Publishers
Weekly

"The stories
are dreamlike, cozy and creepy
and wistful all at once. They remind me
of Tove Jansson's
Moomintroll stories, if the
Moomin adventures unrolled against a
backdrop of subtle bleakness.
Everything's happy, yet you feel like
everything is destroyed. They also
remind me of Chagall's
paintings, if the paintings were hanging
in a bomb shelter." sofia

"Though it all
sounds so cute and
gimmicky, there is nothing cloying
about it. These are bizarre, touching,
delightful..." PANK"

Reseña del editor:

Fiction. Translated from the French by Brian Evenson. "With the calm strangeness of dreams, and humor deepened by a hint of melancholy, these wonderful stories fool around on the frontiers of the imagination. All musical dogs, woolly crabs, children and other detectives of the not-yet-invented should own this book."--Shelley Jackson

"Humane, impossible, homely and alien, Draeger's extraordinary stories are as close to dreams as fiction can be."--China Miéville
